Middle-Class Education, A deputation from the Council of the National Associa tion for the promotion of Social Science waited upon Lord Palmerston at Cambridge • house on Saturday to represent the expediency of issuing a Royal Commission to inquire into the grammar schools and other endowed schools in the United Kingdom not yet reported upon, and generally into the state of education of the middle classes. The deputation consisted of Lord Brougbam (president), Earl Fortescue, the Bishop of London, Lord Lyttelton, Mr Samuel Gregson, M.P., Hon Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., Mr James Heywood, F.R.S., Mr Shaw-Lefevre, M.P., Mr Pollard-Urquhart, M.P., Sir J. G. Shaw-Lefevre, K.C.8., Mr George W. Hastings(general secretary), Rev IL Burgess, Rev F. Dellamere, Rev David Melville, Rev H. J. Barton, the Archdeacon of Coventry, Mr Edwin Chadwick, C. 8., Mr Edgar, Mr M'Clelland, and Mr T. H. Bastard. Lord Brougham having introduced tho deputation and explained its object and the great need experienced for such an inquiry, the following memorial was read by Mr G. W, Hastings : " The Council of the National Association for the Promo tion of Social Science desire to represent to your lordship the expediency of issuing a Royal Commisaion to inquire into the grammar schools in the kingdom and other en dowed schools not reported on, and thus obtain much useful information as to the state of the education of the middle classes. The association has from year to year collected a large amount of evidence bearing upon the condition of middle-class education, and there has been a general con currence of opinion that it is at present in a most unsatis factory state. Several of the eminent men who have at our annual meetings filled the office of President of the Depart ment of Education have expressed themselves strongly to this effect. Sir John Pakington, in his address in 1857, remarked that it was a great error to suppose that the only educational difficulties were those relating to the working classes. ' I know,' he said,— " • That the middle classes find themselves in a position of great difficulty on this subject. It is the respectable tradesman, the small farmer, the clerk, and men of that de scription who know not where to get education for their children, and who, practically speaking, pay very dearly for a bad article.' The Right Hon. William Cowper, in 1853, said,— " The education given in the middle-class and commer cial schools is, generally speaking, as faulty, in comparison with all other education, as it is bad in itself. It has great pretension and show without substance or solidity. There is no superintendence whatever. There is no test of the capacity of the toaster and no test of the success of his teaching. The parents are loft to judge, after their own uninstructed notions, of the excellence of the school, and generally pay most attention to what is really of the least importance.' Iu 1859 the Right Hon, C, B. Adderley pointed out that the middle class have reason to be dissatisfied with their present means of education, the private, comtnercial,and en dowed grammar schools of the country, and Sir John Shaw- Lefevre in 1861, speaking of the civil service examinations for appointments, which are filled up from the middle classes, as a practical test of the education they received, said— " ' I may mention thq incredible failures in orthography, the miserable writing, the ignorance both of the elementary theory and practice of arithmetic. It is comparatively rare to find a candidate who can add correctly a moderately long column of figures, and many do not understand common notation so as to write down is figures a number described in words, When the examination extends to English corn position, or history, the performances of some of the candi dates are poor beyond belief, and we are under the necessity of keeping the standard very low, in order to prevent the inconvenience which would arise from an indiscriminate re jection.' Naval and Military Intelligence, The Galatea, 26 gun screw frigate, Capt. R. Maguire, ar rived at Spithead on Saturday from Corfu, Malta, and Gibraltar, with troops and invalids on board. She sailed from Corfu on the 2d inst., Malta on the 6th, and Gibraltar on the 12th. She brought the following troops from Corfu : —29th company of Royal Engineers —Second Capt. G. W. Stockley, Lieut Jones, 5 sergeants, 13 corporals, 73 privates, 16 women, and 16 children ; S taff of the Royal Engineers— Brevet-Major de Vere; Lieuts. Savi, Rowe, and English, Assist.- Surg. Meares; Medical Staff—Surg.-Major Grant; Ist class clerk of works Marshall ; 2d battalion, 4th Regi ment, 1 serg., 1 woman, and 2 children; Ist battation, 9th Regiment, 1 serg., 2 women, 9 children; 2d battalion, 9th Regiment, 2 men, 1 woman, and 1 child; Commissariat Staff Corps, 3 men and 2 women; barrack department, 6 men, 5 women, and 29 children; prison staff, 4 men, 3 women, and 17 children ; two widows of soldiers and 5 children. From Malta the Galatea brought as invalids from regiments in the garrison, 5 sergeants, 3 corporals, 97 privates, 8 women, 22 children. The Galatea steamed into Portsmouth harbour and landed the troops from Corfu at the dockyard on Satur day afternoon, the 29th company of Royal Engineers being authorities to Aldershot by the South-Western Railway a t -I p.m, and the remainder to the forwarded on by the milita ry depots of their respective regiments. The invalided soldiers will be landed from the ship to-day and forwarded to the Royal Military Hospital at Netley. A few naval invalids were transferred on Saturday to h br e o r u m gh a j t e h st o y m ,s e s in hip th v e shipicto Victory and the Royal Naval Hospital at Hasler. The hired sailing transport Star of India, Capt. Morris, arrived at Spithead on Saturday with time-expired and in valided soldiers on board from India, having sailed from Bombay on Feb. 26, and called in at St. Helena on May 6. The officers accompanying the troops on board consist of Lieut. Budgen, 82d Foot, Capt Robinson, 89th, Capt Lloyd and Lieut. Sharpe, 98th. The troops comprise 22 sergeants, 330 men, of whom 150 are invalids and the remainder time expired men, 24 women, and 33 children. The whole will be disembarked to-day under the supervision of Col.

The Atalanta, hired sailing transport,also arrived at Spit head yesterday from India, with a part of the 74th R egi. ment on board from Madras, whence she sailed on the Bth of March, calling in at St. Helena on the 9th of May. From the latter place she brought a mail, which was landed at Portsmouth yesterday. The Atalanta entered Spithead by the western channel, but before reaching the anchorage she was met by Mr James Garratt's (Lloyd's agent) cruising cutter, and received from her instructions to proceed to Gravesend, where the 74th are ordered to disembark, and she consequently passed through Spithead to the eastward without anchoring. The remainder of the 74th are hourly expected in the Hornet, which vessel will be tent on, like the Atalanta, to Gravesend. The Channel Fleet at Spithead is engaged filling up with coal, provisions, and stores, in readiness to proceed to the Baltic, should its presence be required in that quarter. Every ship in the fleet is in the most perfect order. The Pearl, 21, screw corvette, Capt. J. Borlase, C. 8., was paid out of commission at Portsmouth yesterday, under the superintendence of Captain F. Scott, C. 8., and Aide•de- Camp to the Queen, commanding her Majesty's Victory. James Hawton, coxswain of the Pearl's launch, and John Stone, captain of the mast, received a silver medal and gra tuity for long service. ; The paddlewheel steamsloop Bulldog, 6, Capt.

That an humble address be presented to her Majesty to lay before her Majesty the substance of the foregoing re solutions, and humbly to pray that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to take the same into her serious con sideration, with the view of adopting such measures as may be found best calculatcd to avert war between this country ani Japan, and to provide an increase of trade and friendly intercourse between the two nations to their mutual advantage. On Friday and Saturday the C, G, E, and II troops of the 16th Lancers arrived at Colchester, where they will occupy the recently-erected cavalry barracks. The head quarters of the regiment will be at Colchester, and two troops have been sent to Ipswich and two to Birming ham. A party of dismounted men has also arrived at Colchester, It is not expected that the regiment, which is under the command of Colonel Dickson, will remain more than a year in England, as it stands first on the list for India, and will doub tless proceed to the east in the course of 1865. The detachment stationed at Ipswich is under the command of Major Burnell. In accordance with the finding of a district court-martial held at Aldershott, Troop Sergeant-Major Morton, sth battalion Military Train, h as b een convicte d o f h av i ng , i n his capacity of p a y- sergeant, received discount on moneys expended for vegetables, Se e ,, supplied to the men o f t h e battalion, and been sentenced to be reduced to the ranks. The charge was brought by Mr. D urs t on , lately manager to Messrs Chidell B rot h ers, army contractors, the offence alleged being in c on t ravention of par 29, p. 1 5 4, Queen's Regulations. This paragraph is as follows :—" No indi vidual of whatever rank in the army is to receive any fee or gratuity in the shape of discount, or under any other deno mination or pretenc e , on payment for articles furnished or work done for the tr oops. " At the court martial Sergeant- Major Morton pleaded hia entire innocence of the offence cherged against him, denied havin g received any discount from the complainant or his late employers, and asked to be allowed legal assistance. This application was refused. The finding of the court martial was read to the prisoner at attention the t Li e t nt e e n a case nt- G a e n n d e rta to the t h c a om pa m r a a n a d r i a ri p g h , above l the sergeant's mess of th e b attalion on Thursday morning, and was then carried out. A Memorandum has since been issued,owff i h c i e e t aquoted, i o fn calling regiments which mentions o h his exp ectation that commanding williil afford him their beet assistance in enabling him to eradicate the system of discount given and received on payment of articles furnished to the troops—" a system which not only engenders discontent among pri vate soldiers, because it is prejudicial to their interests, but induces and promotes fraud and dishonesty among pay-ser geants and others." The memorandum concludes by ex preesing the determination of the lieutenant-general com manding person under his com man d who may to bring to trial any be reported for receivi ng discount, either directly or indirectly, and to visit upon th e offen d er the utmost penalty the court martial may award. The headquarters of the Scots Greys, under the command of Colonel H. D. Griffith, C. 8., arriv e d at the North Camp Aldershot, on Thursday, from Birmi ngham, via Reading. The strength of the regiment in marching in was—officers, officers' chargers, 65 —troopers, 365.

The articles to be ex hibited will be divided into two clas see---first, those in vented or made by officers, non-commissioned officers, and noon ln men now quart er ed at .Aldershott, or 1, -Y their wives and children ; and, second, of articles collected by officers, non commissioned offi cers , and men now quartered at Alder ehott, or by their wives and children (bona ,fide their own property), during the course of their servi ce i n var i ous parts of the world. ld The exhibition will be O p en until the 14th of July (Sundays excepted), and the sum received for ad mission at the doors will go to defray .., general expenses, and any surplus will be divided among committees of regiments and corps exhibiting. The flying column, detaching from th e Aldershot division, under the command of Major General R ussell, consist i ng of the 6th Dragoon Guards, the Royal gorse Artillery, de tachments of the Royal Engineers, Military Train, and the 37th and 87th Regiments, after encamping at S indhurst for several days,'in accordance with instructions, returned to Aldershot on Wednesday, and took pa: t in the evoluttons of a field-day on Thursday. The Second Trial Trip of Mr Coxwell's New Mr Nassau Senior, quoting, in his address to the Associa tion, last autumn, at Edinburgh, the above passage from his predecessor's observations, and enforcing it by his own opinion, proceeded to make the following suggestion ; " The first step towards a remedy for this lamentable state of things is to know accurately the amount and the causes of the evil—and for this purpose I venture to propose that this Association petition the Crown to issue a Commis sion to inquire into the present state of the education of the middle classes in the British islands, and to consider and report what measures, if any, are required for the extension of sound education to these classes,' " This recommendation of their President was duly con sidered by our Department of Education, and a resolution was unanimously passed requesting the Council to use their endeavours fur the issue of such a Commission as was pro posed by Mr Senior. In performance of the duty thus cast on them the Council approach your Lordship to-day, and they may be permitted to say that the recent loss incurred by the Association in the death of Mr Senior makes them the more solicitous that his advice, given on the last occasion of his performance of any public duty, should not be disre garded. The Council would further observe that full and searching inqniry has recently been made into the state of education among two considerable classes of society ; the one by the commission to inquire into the revenues and management of certain colleges and schools, and the studies pursued and the instruction given therein ; the other by the commission to inquire into the state of popular education in England ; that much valuable information was obtained in each case, and that considerable improvements, by legisla tion or otherwise, have already resulted, or may be expected to result, in the education of the children of the rich and those of the class who live by manual labour. These facts seem to constitute a claim for soma inquiry on behalf of that large portion of her Majesty's subjects who cannot look for the education of their children either to the great public schools on the one hand, or the national schools on the other, Earl Fortescue, in a work just published, has pofnted out the injustice of leaving this class in their present educational position, and has shown that an authoritative inquiry may be conducted on their behalf without involving any more interference with private instruction than has been the case with the commission already issued. This appears from the fact that there are in this country some h undreds of gram mar schools and other endowed sc h oo l s, w hi ch have never yet formed the subject of adequate i nqu i ry, and ,which mi g ht probably be made available for supplying is a great degree the want of efficient education for the middle classes. It is true that these foundations were inquired into by the Charity Commissioners, but the investigations of that body were mainlydirected to the amount and use of she endowments and not to the education imparted in the schools, The Council would strongly urge on your lordship the necessity for in quiry into the whole condition and management of these in stitutions,'and while distinctly disclaiming any recommen dation of interference with private schools they suggest that the investigations of a commission, if properly conducted, would probably lead to the communication of voluntary in formation, which would throw much light on the condition of middle class education and the best means of improving it. For these reasons the counsel venture to urge on your lordship the favourable consideration of their request that a lteyal Commission be issued for hwith for the purposes they have above indicated.

That the relations between this country and Japan appear to this hones to be at present in a highly unsatisfac tory state. 2. That it is shown by the papers laid before Parliament by command of her Majesty that the treaty concluded be tween her Majesty and the Tycoon of Japan on the 26th of August, 1858, gives to British subjects in Japan rights and privileges which the Government of that country was avowedly reluctant to grant, and was on:y induced to con fer upon them through dread of British naval and military power. 3. That the Government of Japan has also been induced by this same fear to make with other European nations and with the United States treaties generally similar to that which it has concluded with her Majesty. 4. That under the above named treaty British subjects are entitled to claim admission into certain portions of the territory of Japan without being subject to the jurisdiction of its Government, her Majesty having taken upon herself the obligation of enforcing on their part good conduct and obedience to the law. 5. That the reports of her Majesty's diplomatic servants show that her Majesty has not been able to fulfil this obli gation; the provisions of the statutes authorising her Majesty's consuls to try and punish British subjects for offences committed in Japan, and the means available for carrying these laws into effect, have proved altogether in sufficient to prevent gross outrages and insults from being inflicted on the people of Japan by British subjects and persons assuming that character. 5. That the animosity against foreigners excited in the minds of the Japanese by these outrages and insults has in creased the repugnance long felt by the most powerful classes among them to increased intercourse with European nations, and has led to the perpetration of some murders and several daring and desperate attacks upon foreigners, diplomatic servants and other subjects of her Majesty having been among the sufferers from these acts of violence. 7. That the Government of the Tycoon has professed the strongest desire to prevent the commission of these crimes and to punish their perpetrators, but has declared itself un able to do so; nor does there appear to be any reason to doubt the truth of these declarations, since two Tycoons and a Regent of Japan have themselves been murdered ; and one of the principal Ministers narrowly escaped the same fate, owing to the hostility they had incurred from being supposed to favour an increased intercourse with foreigners. 8. That in order to enforce a demand made by her Ma jesty's Government of redress for the murder of a British subject it was found necessary to undertake hostile operations against one of the Daimios, in the course of which consider able loss was experienced by her Majesty's ships and a large and flourishing Japanese town was burnt to the ground. 9. That this experience of what has already taken place leaves lit hope for the future of its being possible to avert fresh collisions between her Majesty's subjects and Ihe Japa nese if the existing arrangements for regulating the inter course between them are maintained unaltered; and if such collisions should occur they must sooner or later lead to a war which would necessarily cost many lives and much money both to this country and to Japan, and would pro bably bring upon the latter the heavy calamities of generil anarchy and confusion, from the destruction of its existing Government, while there would be no means of creating any other authority to replace it. 10. That, apart from all higher considerations, the true interests of this country, and especially its permanent com mercial interests, require that such calamitous results should not be risked by maintaining the existing treaty with Japan unaltered, and that it is desirable that the provisions of this treaty should be so modified as to place the future inter course of the two nations on a better footing for the future. 11. That it would therefore be advisable that her Ma jesty's servants should without delay enter into friendly communication with the Government of Japan and with the Governments of other nations having treaties with Japan similar to our own, for the purpose of determining what changes it would be expedient to make in the provisions of these treaties. /"(e* -1- STAMPED ....sd. Death of the Rev. Canon Cureton, D, D., F, R, S, " A whole treasure-house of learning," said Dean Stanley yesterday in Westminster Abbey, " hGe descended into the untimely gravt," of William Cureton, the most eminent Syriac scholar in Eng land, and almost in Europe. Dr. Cureton, a canon of Westminster, and rector of St. Margaret's, chap lain in ordinary to the Queen, and the royal trustee of the British Musoum, died on Friday morning at his country seat, Westbury, near Shrewsbury. The doctor had received a shock on the railway, some where near Streatham, about a year ego, and not more than three days before his death had obtained from the company an unusually large amount of compensation, £3,170, for himself and his little daughter, who had sustained som injuries. But his last illness was attributable is a much greater degree to recent annoyances and disappointments. He has never been well since an unexpected occurrence at the close of last year; he went to his seat in Shrop shire a brokensdown invalid some weeks ago ; and there he sickened and died of rheumatic fever. There can be no doubt that his death is a very con siderable loss to the world of letters, and, as the Dean of Westminster truly remarked yesterday, he has left no one to fill his place in the peculiar line of scholarship which he had marked out for himself from his early manhood. William Cureton, D.D., F.R.S., a member of the French Institute and of nearly every learned society in Europe, was born about 1808. There is no secret about his early struggles in life, which Dean Stanley twice feelingly alluded to yesterday. One circumstance should be indeed recorded to his honour. He inherited from his father a small in come which might have enabled him to enter as a commoner at the univer3 sity, but this he resigned to his mother who was not left very well provided for, and matricu lated in the humble position of servitor of Christ Church. In Michaelmas term, 1830, he gra duated as a double third class, when the Bishop of Salisbury, Dr. Manning, the Rev. William Palmer, and the Rev. H. W. Wilberforce (the latter three converts to Rome) were first class men. In 1834, shortly after his ordination as priest, when he was a chaplain of Christ Church, he became sub•librarian of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, in succession to the Rev. Ernest Hawkins, now secretary of the S.P.G. and prebendary of St. Paul's. In 1837 he removed to London, on his appointment as assist ant keeper of the MSS. in the British Museum, at which post he remained, working diligently, till 1849, when he received a canonry at Westminster, to which an act of Parliament—which all Church men condemn, and always have condemned—had attached or bound the rectory of the great parish of St. Margaret's. Two years previously he had been appointed chaplain in ordinary to the Queen —an honour dae to the remarkable character of his literary labours, which secured the hearty patronage of the late Prince Consort. Dean Stanley spoke yesterday of the late canon as a man of truthfulness, candour, perseverance, and honesty, as hating subterfuges and shams, and as always avoiding controversial intolerance. Cer tainly due honour was paid to the doctor yesterday, for the Dean preached in the morning at St. Mar garet's, and in the afternoon in the Abbey, in his honour. At three services was the " Dead March in Sauk" played, and all the anthems and psalms in the abbey and the church were of a funereal character. ~~ T ~~ e Exv t4 5 0` . . 12 4 0 1 4 C 4,,'` Or, THE SINKING OP T • • ~ , , ,11 / / / 4 LIVERPOOL, :l A l i e Su it The following telegram has beenittieivaat t • Liverpool Underwriters' Room from Lloyd's agent at Cherbourg:— • "CHERBOURG, SUNDAY, 12.10 P.M. " The . Alabama left this mornin, and is now engaged with the Kearslge. A hritl: eßnnonade is heard. Dr. Cureton married about 18 years ago the daughter of Mr. Blore, the eminent architect, by whom he leaves a large family, an infant only a few months old being the youngest. Two of his sons are at Westminster School. It wi:s Mrs. Cureton who executed the facsimile of the MSS. on the authority of which the Syri , ic text of the Epistles of Sr. Ignatius is based. For her and her family much sympathy is expressed in West minster, and, whatever may be the differences which estranged the doctor from his parishioners, there is no difference on this point. It only remains to be added formally that Dr. Cureton was honorary D,D. of Halle, corresponding member of the Institute of France, and of the Oriental Society of Germany, member of the Asiatic Society of Paris, honorary member of the Historico-Theological Society of Leipsic, &c. In fact, he was universally honoured abroad, and, by scholars, at home, and it is much to be regretted that he was ever placed in a position which he could not fill with comfort to himself or satisfaction to his parishioners.

He studied medicine at Edinburgh as pupil of the great Liston, whose assistant he became, and whom he virtually succeeded in his practice when Liston came up to Fettle in London. He became M.D. and Licentiate of the College of Surgeons, and in 1842 was elected Professor of Surgery in the University of Edinburgh. He was also Professor of Ant,tomy at the Royal Academy, Surgeon in Ordinary to the Queen for Scotland, a Fellow of the Royal Society, and he held a long list of important appointments in connection with the hospitals and public institutions of Edinburgh. His literary works are highly esteemed. The principal are "A System of Surgery," and "Surgical Ex perience of Chloroform." He was, moreover, the author of the article on surgery in the new edition of the "Encyclo paedia Britannica." Two MEN DROWNED AT ABERDEEN.—Friday, during the breakfast hour, three young men, ap prentice carpenters in Messrs. Hall's shipbuilding-yard, Aberdeen, were taking a pleasure sail in a boat in the har bour. The boat missed stays, and there being some wind at the time, it filled with water and settled down, all the three on beard being thrown out. The dockmaster (Mr. Leys) and others at once put off in boats, and succeeded in res cuing one of the young men, named M'lntosh, who was taken home and is expected to recover. The other two, however, named Milne and Robb, were drowned. The ages of the young men varied from 17 to 21. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT ANERLEY,App RE .

The excitement in the district is very great, and as the hor rible nature of the outrage becomes more publicly dissemi nated the feelings of disgust and abhorrence of the perpe trators of such a dreadful crime increase in intensity.

"I see them," his friend answered very quietly—" the cook is my aunt, and the housemaid is my cousin." MR. MATTHEW MARSHALL.--Mr. Matthew Mar shall, whose name has been so long prominently and honourably identified with the Bank of England, has just resigned his responsible office as chief cashier. Mr. Mar shall's labours in the service of the Bank extend over no less a period than 51 years, for 29 of which he has been chief cashier. His retirement now, at 73 years of age, is solaced by a well-deserved tribute on the part of those in whose employment he has passed a long and laborious Kearsage : " Sunday, June 19, 9 a.m.—Got up steam and proceeded out of Cherbourg harbour. "10 30.—Observedtthe Alabama steaming out of the harbour towards the Federal steamer Kearsage. "11 10.—The Alabama commenced firing with her starboard battery, the distance besween the contending vessels being about one mile. The Kearsage immediately replied with her starboard guns ; a very sharp, spirited firing was then takea up, shot sometimes being varied by shells. Ia manceuvring both vessels made seven complete circles at a distance of from a quarter to half a mile. At 12 a slight intermission Was observed in the Alabama's firing, the Alabama making head sail, and shaping her course for the land, distant about life. FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION. —On the 26th ult. a train was conveying a number of soldiers and negroes and four torpedoes from Newbern to Bachelor Crest, West Carolina, the latter intended to complete the blockade of the Neuse river in the direction of Kingston. The last of the four was about reaching the station platform, when an accidental blow from a log of wood striking upon the cap ex pl o d e d the torpedo. The concussion was so g rea t t h at the other three follo wed on the explosion of the first, and so quick as to make but one mighty report like the crash of a thousand pieces of artillery fired simultaneously. Heads , b o di e s, and limbs were scattered for a quarter of a mile around, and in many instances it was found impossible to recognise the remains of the unfortunate victims. The s i gn al tower and a commissary building, 20ft by 80ft, b u ilt o f logs, were thrown i nto the air a distance of 800 ft, and strewed the country for a great distance around with the fragments, Forty soldiers and negroes were killed. nine miles. "At 12.30 observed the Alabama to be disabled and in a sinking state. We immediately made to wards her, and on passing the Kearsage were re% quested to assist in saving the Alabama's crew. At 12,50, when within a distance of 200 yards, the Alabama sunk. We then lowered our two boats, and, with the assistance of the Alabama's whale boat and dingy, succeeded in saving about 40 men, including Captain Semmes and 13 officers. At 1 p.m. we steered for Southampton." I may state that, before leaving, the Kearsage was apparently much disabled. The Alabama's loss, so far as at present ascertained, in killed and wounded, &c., was as follows—viz., one officer and one man drowned, six men killed, and one officer and 16 men wounded. Captain Semmes received a slight wound in the right hand. The Kearsage's boats were, after some delay, lowered, and, with the assistance of a French pilot boat, succeeded in picking up the remaining sur- JOHN LANCASTER.

SlR,—The balloon let t the gardens of the C►ystal Palace at seven o'clock on the 13th inst., with a temperature of 62 deg. When 300 feet above the ground the temperature was 59 deg., and declined gradually to 51i deg. at the height of 3,100 feet above the level of the sea. The balloon then fell to 2,500 feet. The temperature increased to 63 deg.; then declined to 46 deg. on the balloon rising to 3.500 feet. We kept da this level for 20 minutes, and the variations in temperature were very small. From 7h. 35m. to 7h, 50m. the height of the balloon varied but little from 2,700 feet, with a temperature varying from 51 deg. to 52 deg., being the same as when we first reached the eleva- tion. At 7h. 54m. the height was 2,000 feet, and from that time to reaching the earth, at Bh. 14m., the tempe rature was 53 deg. without variation. On the ground it was found to be 54 deg. The temperature on the earth daring the flight of the balloon had decreased from 9to 10 degrees. The air at the height of 600 feet above the sea had decreased by about 6 degrees between ascending and descending, but at heights exceeding 2,000 feet no change had taken place. The temperature at which water was deposited on bright substances was 44 deg. on the ground, 40 deg. at 2,500 feet high, and 38 deg. at 3,000 feet. _ . The degree of humidity of the air was 51 deg. on the ground on starting, complete saturation being represented by 100 ; it was between 60 and 70 in the air till 7h. 50m., and then increased to 77 on the ground. A very delicate blackened bulb thermometer in the full rays of the sun read from 1 to 10 degrees above another delicate thermometer placed near to it with its bulb shaded from the sun's rays. At times, when so situated that the sun did not shine on the blackened bulb, the two thermo meters were alike. The sky was cloudless, the air was clear, excepting in the direction of London, and the successive views at the ordi nary elevation we reached were very beautiful. Shooter's hill and the several known localities were dwarfed to plains. At the height of 3,000 feet sheep were easily distinguished, but the earth seemed to without inhabitants, as the naked eye could with difficulty distinguish man. The river was seen to its mouth—the white cliffs at Margate were just seen through mist—the horizon was misty all round. The contrast between the thickly studded towns and villages in Kent and the few in Essex was very marked. There were in the car of the balloon, besides Mr Coxwell and myself, the following officers :—The Hon. R. A, J. Talbot, and Mr Charles Needham, of the Ist Life Guards ; the Hon. W. B. Cast, Grenadier Guards ; Capt. T. Leslie, Mr Mylles B. B. Adderley, Mr F. G. Burnaby, Mr H. Emerson Westcar, and Mr J. Boswell, of the Royal Hone Guards and Captain Turner, of the Rifle Brigade. All these officers enjoyed the magnificent views so much that at times I think they forgot their position in the car of the balloon, being themselves insensible of any motion, and all regretted our proximity to Sea Reach, which compelled Mr. Coxwell to descend. -- --- The balloon touchal the earth at a quarter past 8, on tho farm of Mr. Squier, about five miles from Brentwood. Blackheath, June 18. JAMES GLAISHER. MR. KUHR'S CONCERT.—The recital of classical and modern pianoforte music by this consummate artist, announced to be given at the Queen's Concert Room, Hanover-square, on Thursday, promises a great treat to all lovers of first class music worthily interpreted. ENGLISH ROADS IN THE SEVENTEENTH CEN TURY.--S 0 bad were some of the roads, that it was not at all uncommon, when a family intended to travel, for servants to be sent on beforehand to investigate the coun try and report upon the most promising track. Fuller tells us that during his time he frequently saw as many as six oxen employed in dragging slowly a single person to church, Waylen says that 800 horses were taken prisoners at one time during the civil wars by Cromwell's forces, " while sticking in the mud." Many improvements were made in modes of conveyance during the century. A kind of stage coach was first used in London about 1608 ; towards the middle of the century they were gradually adopted in the metropolis, and on the better highways around London. In no case, however, did they attempt to travel at a greater speed than three miles an hour. Before the century closed stage coaches were placed on three principal roads in the kingdom—namely, those between London and York, Ches ter, and Exeter. This was only for the summer season; "during winter," in the words of Mr Smiles, "they did not run at all, but were laid up for the season, like ships during Arctic frosts." Sometimes the roads were so bad, even in summer, that it was all the horses could do to drag the coach along, the passengers, per force, having to walk for miles together. With the York coach especially the difficulties were really formidable. Not only were the roads bad, but the low midland counties were particularly liable to floods, w'hen during their prevalence it was nothing unusual for passengers to remain at some town en route for days together, until the roads were dry.—Rer Majesty's The Germano-Danish War, The followihg letter was received by the secretary of the com►nittee of L!old's on Saturday " Forein Office, June 18.

A DISGRACEFUL INUINITATION.—The escape of the Government with a majority of seven, in house of 459 members, on Friday evening, will not relegate to oblivion the crimes of its policy or the proofs of its ad ministrative impotence on the Gold Coast. The infamous levity with which the question was treated by Ministers must still demand a censure from the country. If the Le gislature failed in its duty, and a desperate " whip" gathered in the Whig lobby at least 50 Whig parasites who had not heard the debate, and perhaps were not in a condition to know how they were voting . , public opinion will redress the bitter wrong, the murderous injury inflicted upon British soldiers by a Cabinet whose orators fled an excuse for mirth in an act of wholesale homicide.—Standard. sdliitsmutareitei ottnohsfe is now A WITTY SENTINEL.—A lieutenant of the 10th United States Infantry recently met with a sad rebuff at Fort Kearney.

I n other places it will be delayed until the effects of the rains in the last few days shall have been felt, The corn is looking well, almost universally-- wheat, barley, beans, and oats. The wheat is coming into ear, and the critical time of blossoming is at hand, during which fine calm weather is very desirable. At present the weather is rather unsettled. Beans are promising, although the winter beans were destroyed by the frost in many places, and had to be replanted. The hops in Worcestershire and Herefordshire are in a very forward and promising state, and, uncertain as this crop is, at present the chances are in favour of a good return. Potatoes and peas are early and prolific. The fruit crops promise to be the most abundant ever known. The smaller fruit—gooseberries, currants, &c.—are remarkably prolific, plums are abundant, and apples and pears—especially the former —hang thickly on the trees, and promise a ra re p ro duce of perry and cider. Altogether the season promises to be on the whole a more abundant one than the bountiful season of 1863.

Enter ltihbisertygloitf actionl"ing temple behind, Suppose you a re weary, and seat shirt-sleeves yourself on an empty barrel fora little while without imme diately ordering refreshment. The publican looks at you reproachfully, as much as to say "You are a pretty fellow to come into my house and sit there without having anything to drink." If you are slow to take the hint in looks, he will soon remind you of your duty in words, , t Now, sir, what can I serve yeti. 'with?" Order an Abernethy biscuit and a glass cf water, and see how he will look at you? He keeps biscuits merely to oblige his cus tomers, to accommodate the women chiefly; and heart cakes to beguile the children while father remains to have another glass. Biscuits, as a transaction per se, he regards as an irregularity, only to be permitted o n rare and special occasions, and only then under protest. As to water in its native purity, without the admixture of something strong — something that is worthy of exact measurement and con be charged for—that is altogether out of the question. Monstrous ! He can scarcely bring himself to administer to the weary urchin who comes in to beg a drink of water in the name of charity. He feels it beneath his dignity to dispense such poor stuff. Throughout all the branches of the trade there is a mad dog's horror of water as such. If you go to a brewery and mention the word " water," you are immediately fined for the cffence in gin ; if you go to a distillery and mention the word "water," you are fined for the offence in beer. Say " liquor," and you are safe. The publican has no objection to aqua vitae, or eau de vie; but call it the water of life, and he will be more shocked than if you used bad language.—Deckens's "All the Fear Sawa."
